Product details
Overview
AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32K-bit (4096 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM optimized for low-voltage embedded systems. It operates from 1.8V to 5.5V, supports 400 kHz clock rate at 1.8V, features hardware write protection via WP pin, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention. It is used in industrial sensor calibration storage and firmware parameter backup where space-constrained, battery-powered operation is required.
For engineers reviewing the AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T datasheet, AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T pinout, AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T application, or AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior at 1.8V, page-write constraints, WP-driven security implementation, and validated alternatives for voltage-scalable I²C memory designs.
Technical Context
The AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T implements a true 2-wire I²C interface with Schmitt-triggered SDA/SCL inputs and open-drain SDA output, enabling noise-immune multi-drop bus operation. Its internal address counter supports current-address, random-address, and sequential read modes, while the 32-byte page buffer enables partial writes without rollover beyond page boundaries.
Device addressing uses three hardware-configurable pins (A0–A2), allowing up to eight devices on one bus. The WP pin provides hardware-level write inhibition when pulled high, and the device enters standby mode (<1.0 µA at 1.8V) after STOP condition completion - critical for ultra-low-power IoT node memory retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 32,768 bits (4096 × 8), organized as 128 pages of 32 bytes - defines maximum byte-addressable range (0x0000–0x0FFF) and page-aligned write boundaries. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.8V logic families and compatibility with mixed-voltage systems without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Rate | 400 kHz at 1.8V - guarantees full-speed operation under lowest valid supply, eliminating timing derating in battery-depleted conditions. |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms max (self-timed) - determines minimum interval between write commands; no external delay needed, but blocks I²C bus during internal programming. |
| Endurance & Retention | 1 million write cycles / 100 years data retention - validates suitability for field-updatable configuration storage in industrial controllers with 10+ year service life. |
| Standby Current | 1.0 µA at 1.8V - enables <1 µA system sleep current when paired with microcontrollers having deep-sleep I/O hold, critical for coin-cell longevity. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments including factory automation nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T is housed in an 8-lead JEDEC SOIC package (8S1), 0.150" wide, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free/halogen-free package supports reflow soldering and fits legacy SOIC footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device Address Inputs | Hardwired logic levels set unique 3-bit slave address (0b1010xxx); enable up to eight AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T devices on one I²C bus without address conflict. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line requiring external pull-up; shares bus with other I²C peripherals; supports wire-OR arbitration and ACK polling. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; Schmitt-trigger input ensures robust edge detection under noisy PCB conditions. |
| WP | Write Protect Control | Active-high hardware lock: tied to VCC disables all writes (including page and byte), preserving memory integrity during power transients or firmware faults. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 1.8V–5.5V input; powers internal logic and EEPROM array; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) required within 5 mm for stable 400 kHz operation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for VCC and I/O; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce during write cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.8V-Compatible I²C Interface | Guaranteed 400 kHz operation at 1.8V supply - eliminates need for voltage translation in modern ultra-low-power MCUs (e.g., STM32L0/L4, MSP430FRxx). |
| 32-Byte Page Write Mode | Enables burst writes of up to 32 bytes per command, reducing I²C transaction overhead by >75% vs. individual byte writes in calibration data logging. |
| Schmitt-Trigger Inputs | Suppresses noise-induced false starts/stops on SDA/SCL - prevents spurious writes or bus lockup in electrically noisy motor-control or power-conversion boards. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin directly gates internal write logic - provides fail-safe memory lockdown independent of firmware state, meeting IEC 62443 functional safety requirements. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable parameter storage in outdoor gateways, HVAC controllers, and railway signaling equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microchip AT24C32D-SSHM-T | Same 32K-bit capacity, 1.7V–5.5V supply, but uses newer process with 1 MHz I²C support at 2.5V+; no 400 kHz guarantee at 1.8V. | Requires ≥2.5V for full speed; unsuitable for 1.8V-only systems like energy-harvesting sensors. | Select AT24C32D only if system operates ≥2.5V and needs faster throughput; retain AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T for guaranteed 1.8V/400 kHz compliance. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT24C32HU4IGT3 | Pin-compatible 32K EEPROM with identical 1.8V–5.5V range and 400 kHz @ 1.8V, but rated for −40°C to +125°C extended temp. | Validated for automotive under-hood use; higher cost and longer lead time than industrial-grade AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T. | Choose CAT24C32HU4IGT3 only if extended temperature qualification is mandatory; otherwise AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T offers optimal cost/performance for industrial designs. |
Compared with AT24C32D-SSHM-T and CAT24C32HU4IGT3, the AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T uniquely guarantees 400 kHz I²C operation at 1.8V while maintaining industrial temperature rating and lowest-cost SOIC packaging - making it the most balanced choice for mainstream 1.8V embedded systems requiring proven reliability and supply chain stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T at 1.8V?
The AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T supports up to 400 kHz I²C clock frequency when operated at 1.8V, as confirmed in the AC Characteristics table of the official datasheet (3054N–SEEPR–2/04). This is a guaranteed specification - not a typical or characterized value - and applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). No external level shifting is required to achieve this speed at minimum supply.
Does AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T support partial page writes?
Yes, the AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T fully supports partial page writes: up to 32 bytes may be written starting at any address within a 32-byte page boundary. If a write crosses a page boundary, the address rolls over to the start of the same page, overwriting prior data. This behavior is documented in the "Page Write" section and enables efficient small-data updates without reading-modify-write sequences.
How does the WP pin function on AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T?
On the AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T, the WP (Write Protect) pin is active-high: when pulled to VCC, all write operations (byte and page) are inhibited, preserving memory contents even during erroneous I²C traffic or power glitches. When grounded or left floating (with <3 pF board coupling), writes are enabled. Internal pull-down ensures safe default state if WP is unconnected.
What is the standby current consumption of AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T at 1.8V?
The AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T draws a maximum standby current of 1.0 µA at 1.8V and 25°C, as specified in the DC Characteristics table (ISB1 parameter). This ultra-low quiescent current is maintained across the full industrial temperature range and enables integration into battery-powered systems where total system sleep current must remain below 2 µA.
Is AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T pin-compatible with other AT24Cxx EEPROMs in SOIC-8 packages?
Yes, the AT24C32AN-10SI-1.8-T uses the standard 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (8S1) footprint and shares identical pinout (A0–A2, GND, VCC, WP, SCL, SDA) with all AT24Cxx family members in the same package variant. This allows drop-in replacement among 32K/64K variants (e.g., AT24C64AN-10SI-1.8) when memory size suffices and voltage/timing requirements align.
